Six miles south of the Chicago Loop, along the Lake Michigan shoreline, the community of South Shore stretches from 67th to 79th Streets. The neighborhood took shape over 100 years ago as European Americans came to South Shore to buy homes in a “Bungalow Belt” neighborhood.
White flight, inspired by an expanding Black Belt, created a push for some of the original South Shore occupants; nearby opportunity created a pull. Neighboring areas to the south were rich with industrial jobs in the early 20th century, with employers including U.S. Steel and the Pullman Palace Car Company employing tens of thousands of workers.
In addition to South Shore’s many bungalows, more grand single-family homes in the Jackson Park Highlands historic district demonstrate a variety of architectural styles, including Colonial Revival and Renaissance Revival homes.
Today, South Shore is a majority African-American community of bungalows and beaches, mansions and mercantile. House Rules

Terrible communication
Three weeks later tries to say we didn't pay when we have emails/proof saying otherwise. We checked in at the time, and some guy just comes in the backdoor with towels. Upon checkout, says we didn't leave the key & they had to get a locksmith - we literally saw someone come in with a key (man with towels at check in). Scary neighborhood, misleading advertising, terrible communication.
